I have NO pity for cyber stalkers, defamers, and misogynistic people online and offline.
The relentless abuse of all Internet and social media platforms by a large number of some entitled members of the younger folks (who think they aren't accountable to anybody) must be tamed! Period.
WorldRichest: Yes, they don dey feel am. 100 million Naira for bail, even if they sell all the people in their village at Libya Slave Market, e no fit reach 100 million. Dem go feel am for Prison
That bolded part cracked me up... Lol
Tbh, defamation of character has become a social "pandemic" and the offenders have to be punished for misleading the public especially online.
LegendHero: Two brothers, Igwe Kingsley ‘m’ and Igwe Chinedu ‘m’ were arrested by vigilant residents of Onitiri Avenue, Abule Egba while they were vandalizing transformer cables in the area.
They were thereafter handed over to police officers of Oko-Oba Division together with the exhibits.
This is highly irresponsible of these two criminals. The relentless production of adulterated consumables, armed robberies, stealing and destruction of public infrastructure in states or regions where they aren't originally from is pure greed, laced with narcissism tbh.
These crimes have gone on for many years now and they MUST be met with robust responses to serve as a lesson and deterrent to others. Period.
opamoses1: Operatives of the Federal Capital Territory Police Command have busted a car theft syndicate that specialised in stealing vehicles from Abuja and selling them in Lagos State.
The FCT Commissioner of Police, Benneth Igweh, during a parade of suspects on Monday, disclosed that luck ran out of the gang when a friend to one of their victims whose car was stolen in Abuja travelled to Lagos for an engagement only to see the stolen car of his friend at a car stand, put up for sale.
He subsequently alerted the victim to come to Lagos and check the car. On getting to Lagos, he confirmed the car to be his stolen Toyota Camry and informed the FCT police.
The CP said police detectives deployed to the scene, discovered that the original Chasis of the stolen car had been changed, the car was recovered and the criminals arrested.
Igweh revealed, “On May 1, 2024, at about 3 pm, acting on credible intelligence, police operatives of Apo Legislative Quarters, trailed and arrested two notorious car theft suspects namely, Anthony Chibuzor and his friend, Jonas Chikwe, both males of [... living in] Lagos State who had been on the wanted list of the command.
“They are part of a notorious car theft syndicate terrorising the FCT and its environs. Three vehicles to which the suspects gave no satisfactory account were recovered including a Toyota Camry with Reg No. Lagos 23, an Audi A4 with Reg No. KRD 349 JD and a Honda Accord Sports with Reg No. BDG 42 JC, some of which the Chassis No. had been altered by the suspects.”
These car theft syndicates and criminals are part of those always bragging online and offline about being very rich from a so-called "hard working" ethnic group. It's all falsehoods tbh... FAKE PACKAGING to maintain a deeply flawed cultural and social status.
"Two other criminal gangs involved in the vandalism of the 3rd Mainland Bridge and Lagos Electricity Cables public infrastructure The vandals are originally from the same Ibo South-East below":
Did you know that during slavery in the U.S. gay white slaveholders would buy male slaves to engage in forced homosexual sex acts?
These male slaves were purchase based entirely on the prerequisite of them possessing a large penis.
Black men were routinely raped by their gay slave owners. The process was known as “breaking the buck”. It involves perhaps the most heinous and atrocious acts known to man.
A strapping Negro slave, who was defiant, surly and may stir up trouble, was beaten with a whip till bloody in front of his entire slave congregation. The slave owner, deathly afraid of an uprising, would cut down a tree and, with the help of the overseer, would then pummel the deviant “buck” into submission. Once the slave was worn down, the white master had the other Negro slaves force him over the tree stump where his britches would be removed and he laid fully exposed and ripe for the taking.
What came next caused fear and terror to ripple through every slave plantation across the South.
The master, drunk on blood lust, would explain to all strong, young black men that if they do not follow strict orders and comply with the whims of the Overseer and the Master, this too would be their fate. He removed his own clothing and proceeded to savagely sodomize the buck in front his wife, family, friends and children. He then invited his associates from other plantations to join in the ******
Festivities. In order for his plan to take effect, he would require the buck’s male child to watch, front row center, so he too can witness his father’s sexual demise and humiliation. Buck Breaking was the slave master’s very effective tool to keep all young black slaves from ever being defiant and taking revenge. It also frightened the mother’s and wives from ever giving consent to an uprising.
Buck Breaking was so successful that it was made into a “Sex Farm” where white men could travel from plantation to plantation feeding their sadistic, homosexual needs.
Bump.
This horrendous aspect of history is totally gross tbh. Such a demented group of White folks in that plantation slavery era.
naptu2: Nigeria is the first African country to take part in the Invictus Games. We took part in the 2023 edition in Dusseldorf, Germany. I create two threads about the event last year.
naptu2: Prince Harry and his wife visited Nigeria recently, but the purpose of the visit was almost overshadowed by a lot of noise about his dispute with the Royal Family, issues of colonialism, Nigerian politics and the war between supporters of the Royal Family and supporters of Harry and Meghan.
One person even claimed that the British High Commission released a statement that Prince Harry was not representing the Royal Family or the British Government in Nigeria, while another person complained that the Nigerian Government was hosting Prince Harry, even though he was on a private visit to Nigeria.
So, why was Prince Harry in Nigeria, in what capacity was he in Nigeria and who was his host?
Harry and Meghan did not come to Nigeria as representatives of the Royal Family or the British Government, neither were they here in their private capacity. This wasn't just some holiday or anything like that.
Many soldiers get injured in battle and some of those injuries are permanent. They could make the soldier lose his job and they could lead to a feeling of worthlessness and depression.
Prince Harry created the Invictus Games (in 2014) for injured military personnel. He served in the UK Armed Forces (particularly in Afghanistan) and he saw the impact of injuries on soldiers. The Invictus Games gives injured military personnel a purpose and helps to raise their spirits. These injured military personnel get to represent their country again and participate in sports, just like the Olympic Games. However, unlike the Olympic Games, there is no official medals table, because they want the participants to focus on enjoying the experience and they want everybody to leave with a good feeling.
Prince Harry was in Nigeria as a guest of Defence Headquarters (DHQ). He was welcomed at Defence Headquarters by the Chief of Defence Staff, he went to see the Minister of Defence and most importantly, he went to see injured soldiers at the hospital and he, together with the Chief of Defence Staff, played sitting volleyball with military personnel that are amputees or who have some kind of injury in their leg. Basically, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Gwabin Musa, was his host.
Picture 1: Prince Harry at Defence Headquarters with the Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar and the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Gwabin Musa.
Picture 3: Prince Harry receiving the salute from the quarter guard at Defence Headquarters (DHQ).
This is another brilliant thread by @Naptu2.
The Daily Mirror and other British tabloids tended to focus more on the non-royal nature of Prince Harry's visit to Nigeria, Meghan's royal acknowledgement by 4 Nigerian Kings in Lagos, her dressing, her late arrival by one hour at an event, the royal snub that was allegedly given to Prince Harry by his father and older brother when he visited England (just before he and Meghan headed for the 3-day visit to Nigeria).
The primary focus of his visit to Nigeria indeed was to see injured soldiers, the promotion of the Invictus Games... Meghan's 43 percent "Nigeria Region" DNA ancestry genetic marker was an extra coincidence.
Deadlytruth: My argument with that guy was specifically about the "Olo" tag and its spelling exactly in that form hence the mention of Ososo Okpe. Is the spelling of "Olo" the same as "Ala" and "Oni" which you later brought in for Ibillo and now Lampese and Anyaran? Even in Lampese there are currently ongoing consultations to cast off the tag just as with Ibillo and indeed every other town or village as it is daily being discovered that Yorubas have been citing it to substantiate their false narratives that they founded and are Aboriginal to those towns in Akoko-Edo. My assertion still stands that only Ososo and Okpe have retained those tags as these remain the only two places where there are so far no palpable awareness creation has stated against the identity crisis the which the non-indigenous etymology tags in the names of their monarchs have caused. A thing already rejected in the mind is as good as completely eradicated as human existence revolves around the mind.
Yes, In Ososo and Okpe their applications have nothing to do with Yoruba semantics any more than "Olu" in the Igbo name of Oluchi has anything to do with Yoruba despite it appears Yorubaish, and that explains why they remain the only two places where no palpable attempts have so far been made to create awareness against them even though Yorubas have been masturbating over them.
Yes, I insist that Akoko-Edo peoples consciousness has been ridden of all traces of Yorubaism because since the successful 1991 excision of the Imeris (the only actually Yoruba people that ever existed among us) into Ondo State where they rightly belong, the anti-Yorubaism awareness has successfully been created all over and steps have started being taken to formally effect it on paper. And of course as long as the human existence revolves mainly round the mind, anything eradicated from the human mind is as good as already eradicated from his society and community. Hence it is on that note I asserted that Akoko-Edo Edo has been rid of all Yorubaism. There is no Radio or TV station in Ososo, so I wonder how you came about a Yoruba Language commercial from Ososo. That you have so lied about Ososo shamelessly is a further evidence that you are on an expansionism drive. Like the Bini Language, the Ososo language alphabet system has alphabets v and z which are absent and unknown in Yoruba alphabet system. In Ososo Language "Come" is "vare" while it is "wa" in Yoruba. Is there any similarly therefore to warrant this fraudulent suggestion of yours that Ososo people delivered a commercial in Yoruba Language as their native language?
Who do you claim still gives Yoruba names to their children in Imoga, Somorika, Ugboshi, etc? These are all Okpameri towns and here are some native Okpameri names; Onyonnude, Uniamikugbo, Ashofor, Igbelazor, Asesho, Ogbor, Oshemi, Okondo, Aseriabo, Ojemu, Agbaunnukozi, etc which are given to children these days. Could you please tell us what they mean in Yoruba? My friend stop this attaché. It is belittling for a majority tribe to seek relevance by attaching to a minority by all means even when all evidences point out they actually share no fundamental identity or cultural similarities. Under normal circumstances it is minorities that seek relevance by trying to attach themselves to the majority. But here we are with the opposite staring us in the face from Yorubas in the obviously abnormal circumstance of expansionism. What appears to you as their quest for political correctness in their Edo State environment is actually a quest to restore their genuine identity which had over the years been vandalised by extraneous elements of Yorubaism which they adopted, albeit naively, in their attempt to be politically correct in the Yoruba-dominated Western Region environment into which they were previously dumped by colonial authority fiat. If they are actually more Yoruba than Bini, then why did they, out of their own free, will vote to be carved into the Midwest in the 1963 plebiscite? If Akoko-Edos are actually Yorubas, then how come they decide to join the Midwestern Region being created for obviously non-Yoruba minorities who were smouldering in anger over what they perceived as domination by the Akoko-Edo s' supposedly Yoruba brothers? Shouldn't they have been afraid that those non-Yoruba minorities which would obviously become the majority in the new region would avenge on them the Yoruba domination which they at least felt they suffered in the Western Region? Why not be logical for once? Yes, I insist that Yorubas are intolerant of other languages based on first hand experience. And come to think of it, is it not the same intolerance Yorubas have been showing here to Akoko-Edo people's quest to be who they actually are?
As for the Otaru title being used in Auchi, there is no contention because the chiefly Islamic religion of the Nupes is quite dominant among them. However that has not inspired the Nupes into an expansionism drive targeted at Etsako land unlike Yorubas are doing to Akoko-Edo for similar reasons. The reason why there are strong campaigns against elements of Yorubaism in Akoko-Edo without a similar eradication attempts at the vestiges of Ebira and Nupe cultural elements is simply the Yoruba's arrogance and reliance on those vestiges to claim that Yorubas founded towns in Akoko-Edo. The Ebiras who have even actually founded farming camps like Aiyetoro and Aiyegunle don't claim they are indigenous to Akoko-Edo, neither do the Nupes, hence we don't feel threatened about them unlike with Yorubas. As for the use of Otaru title in Igarra, it is indeed a shame on you to claim to know much about Akoko-Edo and all you can substitute it with is a downloaded pictures of the traditional council. You are actually completely ignorant of the details as I have always insisted. Here it is: For over 80 years now the majority of Igarra people do not accept the "Otaru" title as genuine for their monarchical stool. How would you know this when you rely more on the internet than taking the pain to seek information from the natives themselves? The actual name and title of Igarra king is "Oshinoyi" and not Otaru which origin you correctly ascribe to Nupes whom Igarra people however share no traces of origin or cultural affinity with. There are 15 clans in Igarra and only five out of them decided to falsify and document that Otaru is the Igarra title for king. The remaining majority ten clans have been in court over it for since 1981 even though the struggle over this issue started as far back as 1930. There have been bloody inter-clan wars within Igarra since 1983 over this issue. In fact Igarra is polarized into two factions still over the Otaru title falsehood. Why not visit Igarra and conduct a survey by yourself? Mr. Yoruba man, other than the default appearance which the "Akoko" tag has wrecked on the people, you know NOTHING About Akoko-Edo. Akoko-Edo people are not Yorubas and will never be. Your genuinely Yoruba brothers have always been wrongly placed Southern Kwara and Southern Kogi and have been crying out to you for help towards being re-united with their kit and kin in Ekiti and Ondo. One of such even created a post here on NL but you avoided it like a plague only to be chasing after a section of Edo people who you are not related with, and you keep denying you are not on an expansionism mission? It is all too obvious!
Awolowo, the greatest and most knowledgeable Yoruba man to ever live, spent most of his energy on irredentism targeted at Offa and Kaba Yorubas wrongly placed in the Northern Region. Awolowo with all his knowledge and clinical accuracy about the ethnic composition of Nigeria, never targeted his irredentist efforts at Akoko-Edo Edo because he, from his research work which was based on actual visits, knew the people genuinely had no links with Yorubas. How and why the ignorant Yoruba youths of today keep insulting the memory of Awolowo by claiming Akoko-Edo is what beats me silly.
ibitiapelo: Another problem with yoruba names is if you don't get the intonation correctly you've already missed the boat. Dábírì for instance is mi mi do (if i remember correctly).
So the last syllable ri with a do sound, could easily mean establish (in another context would mean bury or sank* hence the allusion to establish).
Contractions also change the intonation of the resulting compound word.
So you really have to speak the language (i.e. know which tonal sounds apply ) to be able to understand what's going on.
tpia5: people dont understand in yoruba culture, you cant properly analyze the meaning of a name if you dont know the family dynamics involved, as well as the reasons for it.
names are descriptive ie active as opposed to inactive which is what obtains elsewhere.
many "yoruabroads" also do not get this. As well as "yorujebutters".
step1: Dabiri is a name common to the Eko (part of Lagos), Awori, Ikorodu (an Ijebu people) and perhaps Egun peoples of Yoruba land. The translation of the name can be derived by analyzing the roots:
Da – found/create/started
Ibi – here
Ri - to existence
Bring this location into existence or first settler
step1: Ok Ekiti is bini, Ondo is bini, Lagos is bini. LOOOOOOOOOOOL
WE HAVE A LAGOS AND EKITI PERSON on this thread and I think we have done a good job at rebutting that.
Also I would like to state categorically that the day Bini stop claiming ile ife origin was the day they lost Itsekiris, Aworis, the whole of ekiti and the whole of Ondo, Akoko Ondo.
In fact I met a young man from Okada with his name called Nosa and he categorically said they speak Yoruba from the part of town he is from. Meanwhile he was not the first I met with which claims. I have even met some Ikwerri people claiming ile ife origin (This I find strange).
Now the question to bini people
1. How come you so called empire has been getting smaller and smaller since you started claiming every group originated from Bini
2. The major archaeological discoveries you claim came from bini has since been discarded as lies
3. A recent discovery of glasswares dating over a thousand or two ago was found in ile ife was it bini that introduced that as well ?
4. Why didnt bini's continue with the Ogiso, why did they change it to Oba which is a yoruba word ?
5. Why until recent did the bini's start claiming yoruba words as theirs ?
6. What is the meaning of Iyoba mask ? Who is iyoba and meaning in Bini
7. Explain how a small civilization (Bini) has so much influence on larger groups such as Yoruba given that they are close proximity.
8. How come binis claim they conquered Benin republic but they have no influence or folk tale on them
9. Even the lagos you claimed you conquered, was the oba there ? I am from the Eletu family in Lagos Island which is a bini name and of benin origin, there is no folktale of such in the family genealogy so I would like to know where they got this information from.
10. How can you conquer to Even Ghana and Ghanaian know nothing about bini in their folktale but the Indigenes on Accra who are the Ga people where the word Ghana came from said they originated from Ile ife . Hmmmmmmmm
11. Why is it that until the last Oba, your Kings are buried in ile Ife ? What happened ? And those that correlate to the steady decline of the bini influence
12. The Itsekiris for have now started saying they are of Yoruba origin which you claim they are of benin. Hmmmm more declain
13. The Ijaws claim you or yoruba origin and even took part of your ancestral land to place a full king NOT UNDER THE OBA.
14. Up in the north the Ishans have started showing some resentment towards they over bearing influence of the Oba bini. Hmmmmm
scholes0: How about ayanran the king is also known as Alayanran of Ayanran.
The issue here is that you lied that Ososo and Okpe were the only towns that had the -Oni and -Olo prefix for their rulers in the whole of Akoko Edo.
If I didn’t know better I wouldn’t have been able to cite you this Ibillo example (of which you are now talking something else)
Mind you, the Oba of Lampese is also called the Onilampese (Oba J.B Balogun). Want more examples?
You also categorically said those honorific terms had nothing to do with Yorubas but you are now saying that some Okpameris of Ibillo want it removed because it had Yoruba Origin. Confused much?
You even mentioned earlier that Akoko Edo has now been ridden of all Yoruba influences wbich is another OBVIOUS LIE from you. Since I still HEARD a Yoruba language commercial from OSOSO, YESTERDAY.
Then the funniest one about Akoko Edo not having Yotuba names anymore when newborn children are still sporting those beautiful names in Imoga, Somorika, Ugboshi E.tc. Face reality, Mr. To the average Akoko Edo man, a Yoruba names has much more meaning and sentimental attachment than Benin names which they don’t even have knowledge of their meanings. Although I won’t deny the fact that some of them are taking some actions to look “politically correct” in their Edo state environment.
It is very obvious what you are trying to do- aspiring to be some kind of anti Yoruba ethnic purist or something- Yet you accuse Yorubas of being intolerant of other languages- lol.
It is equally funnier that you seem not to have any problems with the kingship title OTARU which is used in places like Igarra, Auchi etc and emmanates from the NUPES- but take some kind of aversion to the one of Yoruba origin. You got issues bro.
These are members from the Akoko Edo traditional council of Obas, and that sure don’t look like Bini kingdom to me.
Go and fight with reality and stop wasting your time here on nairaland.
scholes0: How many times do you want to hear it? They speak yoruba there, not Benin.
Elawure is just a contraction of Olu Awure like is done in most African languages. It is the same way all Edo peope with the surname Edigin are Yorubas who followed Oranmiyan to rule Benin and stayed behind. They were porters who helped cut and tie firewood for the travelling people “Adigi” in Yoruba. With time the word mutated
They are today settled in Use, Egor LGA which is where all new Obas of Benin get named.
I know All these because they had a community union in my alma mata university.
Rather than admit your lack of information about this area of Edo state, you are here forming Rambo mr Know it all.
Ultimately, your goal is to categorically deny the existence of any figment or fragment of Yoruba culture, people or traditions no matter how tiny, in the entire Edo State- even in the front of evidence.
All I know is that there are two sides to the story, the Bini version of imperialistic fashion and the Ijaw version of subsistent existence on the land.
It is left for bystanders to decide. Not you as an Edo man or the Ijaws who live there.
Small time now, you will say the Usens, Silukos, Illushis and Ikakumos are also on Benin land because they are in Edo state.
9jakool: By Edo speaker, I'm referring to the language spoken in Benin and its environs (AKA the language spoken in most of Edo South Senatorial zone) or Bini language as you put it. You are just trying to make the question more confusing than it needs to be. The native tongue spoken in Usen or Siluko is not mutually intelligible with Bini language. The Usen's throne is of Ife origin. The king wears the Yoruba crown and has a Yoruba title. I don't need to say more. Maybe you are referring to the fact that Bini is a common lingua franca among the people, but it's not their historic/native language.
The then Ata during the Ida/Bini war (1515-1516) was Aji Ata who in 1507 dethroned Ata Ogala Eri and took over. Aji Ata who was said to be a Bini Prince later led the Igala Army across the river in the bid to take over Bini Kingdom which came under the control of his half brother, Oba Esegie immediately after the death of their father. Oba Esigie later fended off the attack, and took back some of the Northern Bini Kingdoms won by the Igala Army, re-establishing the unity and military strength of the Bini kingdom.
Esegie’s mother Idia, who was said to be a powerful witch doctor received much of the credit for Bini victory. And according to the Igala oral tradition, the defeat suffered by the Igala Army was as a result of some of the warriors’ disobedience to the order given to them not to have intercourse with any of the women on the entourage. Some of the warriors who survived dispersed and couldn’t return to Ida due to shame so they settled at “Ibá aji” (River bank) which is the present day Ibaji, ozugono, ebu and illushi.
The Kwararafa Dynasty THE APA WAR (IGALA/JUKUN) 17th Century (1690) The Aji Ata/Bini dynasty under which only six (6) documented Bini Atas ruled in Igala land lasted for almost two (2) centuries before the Jukun group of Kwararafa Royalists came and ovethrew the Bini hegemony and shared power with the Igalamela clans. The Bini Atas include Aji Ata, Olema I, Anogena, Agbo, Agoshi, Olema II.
Consequently, Igala kingdom became a vassal to the Jukun king, the Aku Uka. This brought about the reign of the first female ruler or first female Ata who was said to be a warrior from the Kwararafa dynasty named Ebulejonu. According to some sources , Ebulejonu was not her initial name. Ebule j’onu in Igala literally means “Female King”. She was succeeded by her brother Agana- Poje, After his demise, Ata Idoko succeeded him as Ata.
Ata Idoko had two children Atiyele and Ayegba. Atiyele the first son of Idoko migrated eastward of the kingdom to establish Ankpa kingdom while Ayegba the second son of Idoko succeeded his father as Ata'Gala. (1687-1717)
Igalas continued to pay tribute to the Aku Uka until the reign of Ata Ayegba Om’Idoko. As soon as Ayegba Oma Idoko was installed as the Ata Igala, he resisted the payment of tributes to the Aku Uka Wukari. Thus, sometimes in 1690, when the Jukun king sent his emissaries to collect their annual tributes from the Igala kingdom, the Aku’s containers were filled with stones and dungs and sent his messengers back that they would no longer pay tribute to the Jukun. The defiance of the authority of the Aku Uka of Wukari resulted in him sending a force to bring Ata Ayegba to task.
When the Jukun soldiers arrived at Ida, fear gripped the people. The Jukun soldiers were intimidating, beating and forcefully taking their belongings and farm produce.
As the Igala-Jukun War was looming, Attah Ayegba Omaidoko consulted Edegi ( A mallam who was of a Nupe mother) who divined and asked for the sacrifice of Ata Ayegba’s most beloved daughter, Princess Íníkpi. She was buried alive at Ọ́gbẹ́gà.
Towards the end of the Apa War which was almost won, Ata Ayegba was instructed to perform another sacrifice to safeguard the Igala kingdom from further incursion. Princess Ọ́modòkó, Ata Ayegba’s relative was forcibly buried alive on the western bank of River Ínáchaló with two other daughters of Ata Ayegba namely Ónojò Alíkáà and Ónojò Alẹ́gbẹ who were buried at different locations in Idah. Hence, the river was poisoned and the fishes were also considered not safe for human consumption. The fleeing Jukun army were famished so when they got to the Ínáchaló River, they drank and ate from it. This resulted to them developing swollen stomachs which eventually led to their demise.
Afterwards, Edegi left Ida with his entourage and returned to his mother homeland. He named where he first settled “Abo Ida” which eventually became Bida”.
Points worthy of note: 1. The Igala/Bini war was between 1515-1516 during the reign of Aji Ata while the Igala/Jukun or the Apa War was In the 17th century 1690 during the reign of Ayegba Omaidoko. By the time the Igala-Jukun war was fought, the Igala-Benin War had been fought and lost about 174 years earlier. Does it mean Ata Ayegba Omaidoko lived for 174years and fought both wars? 2. Both Princess Inikpi and Princess Omodoko were both sacrificed before and towards the end of the Apa War (Igala/Jukun) respectively. 3. The Igala kingdom was under the Jukun dynasty before the reign of Ata Ayegba Omaidoko who fought for independence. 4. Edegi was the son of a Nupe mother and an Igala father. He was raised at the Igala court in Idah but later returned to his natal home in Nupeland. The Nupe people were tributaries to the King of “Gara” in “Eda” i.e King of Igala in Ida. 5. The “Eju beju ailo” insignia worn by the Ata Igala wasn’t taken from Bini during the Ida/Bini war as widely speculated. It became part of the Ata regalia from the time of the Bini dynasty in Igala kingdom.
dominique: Oga go and dit down. Has feminism destroyed Chimamanda Adichie and other self acclaimed feminists? Was it Feminism that killed that famous red piller that died like a dog on top of a prostitute after all his hypocritical red pill teachings? Worry more about how your bitter red pill is turning more and more men into toxic lunatics. At least the feminists are not running around the Internet like mad dogs rummaging for stories (whether real or fake) to bring men down. Are the feminists digging out old stories to run men down? The most bitter Feminist is better than the "sweetest" alfa male.
Interesting submissions here.
I'm curious here though.
Who is this dead "famous" red pill dude you're talking about in the bolded part of your post?
papyjaypaul: While this is true, her ex husband is still alive which means the father Mr Patrick Doyle, the name the mother is still using is still around. She's a grand mother too.
I have seen many of her interviews and she does not get bullied easily, she has the influence of the old school parenting that believes in discipline, etiquette and respect, so I can agree with others who are to see this but what do I know? She said hee life is not a script and we should mind our business.
The 57-year-old Ireti is someone who is very eloquent with great diction. She had her first child (a girl) as a 19-year-old teenager and went through domestic violence in the relationship she regretted getting into as a teenager. But she's indeed matured phenomenally over the years due to that ability to recreate herself and more.
So, I think Ireti didn't draw the line to ensure that Jemiyo got properly dressed up without showing too much skin, OR the teenage daughter was getting paid handsomely to do some fashion modeling by wearing that dress for the AMCVA entertainment event. She has to look in the mirror next time before stepping out so that she doesn't look a bit tacky.
Actress Ireti Doyle shows off her gorgeous grownup daughter at The AMVCA 2024
So, I read on another Website that she's just 17 years of age.
The teenager is one of the products of Patrick Doyle's marriage to Ireti. Patrick and Ireti are no longer together now after being with each other over many years.

fergie001: On the commissioning of the Aleto-Ogale-Ebubu-Eteo Road:
And for the records, this contract was awarded to CCECC on the 14th of August 2023 not by "I" but by this administration and as we go further, we will be going with a White Paper showing record and amounts this project was awarded.
This project was awarded at N6.7bn and I can say boldly no kobo is remaining, we have paid the contractor completely without owing. The purpose of this is to let the world know that if there is one problem this administration has it is debts.
Most of the projects commissioned (by the last administration), the contractors are still coming for their balance payments running into millions and billions. I have said I don't want to talk because I am part of that system but when they keep pushing me, i will say it so that we will see the nyansh of the fowl.
But let us leave that one until when they are ready, we will also be ready. The small one we are doing now, they are not sleeping, I wonder what will happen when we do the big one.
SMH... Just basically "destructive male ego" on display by all sides in this political quagmire.
